Those Dirty Miners in the Bookshop

"Examine
it closely and you will see the ragged edges of the type, its cracks and bumps
and gaps, the letters that lie crookedly, or ride higher or lower than the
others, the ink's variations in depth, consistency, and hue, the motes of dust
and droplets of sweat, sealed within the warp and woof of the paper, the tiny
insect bodies caught as the platen came down and now immortalized as unnecessary
commas and full stops." - Thomas Wharton Salamander
